READING

Consider this situation: Sarah is an American teenager and her family recently moved to Japan, where her father
has been transferred for work. Sarah is finding life in the big city of Tokyo complicated, but she is trying to get
settled and make friends. One of her biggest adjustment challenges has been related to school. There are many
new rules and rituals, considerably more than she had experienced in the United States. For example, in Japan she
must wear a uniform, while in the US she did not. At her Japenes school, they not only wear the same uniform, but
also all students of a certain grade level wear the same indoor shoes. Her classmates seem to like wearing
identical clothes, but Sarah feels like she has lost a significant portion of her ability to express herself. Another
challenge for Sarah is the fact that, every day after school, all students work together to clean up their classroom
and the school hallways. Sarah doesn’t generally mind cleaning, but it is the last thing she wants to do after a long
day at school, and she frequently gets frustrated and upset by the additional activity. Finally, the school year began
with a one-hour ceremony. While Sarah had gotten bored and tired of standing so long, her classmates seemed to
really enjoy the event. What is going on? Why do people from other cultures behave and think differently?
According to Professor Hofstede’s “Cultural Dimensions Theory”, discrepancies in behaviour can be explained by
cultural differences, taking into account that “national culture cannot be changed, but you should understand and
respect it”
